The Oberheim OB-X8 desktop module has everything the keyboard version has, except for the 61-note Fatar keybed and the pitch and mod levers, but don't let that stop you from experiencing all the sonic power of the Oberheim OB-X, OB-Xa and OB-8 in a footprint that's compact enough for studios of any size, and convenient enough to take out on the road.

The audio signal path of the OB-X8 is all analog, filled with warmth and punch. It’s the same trademark Oberheim sound that made iconic tracks like '1999' by Prince, 'Jump' by Van Halen, and 'Tom Sawyer' by Rush so unforgettable. And now it’s yours to enhance your own music.
